"There are so many questions and no truthful answers forthcoming from those
who pass for leaders in this increasingly totalitarian world. Our willful ignorance,
apathy, hubris and arrogance will have consequences. Just because it hasn't
happened yet, doesn't mean it's not going to happen. The cyclicality of history
guarantees a further deepening of this Crisis. The world has evolved from totalitarian
hegemony to republican liberty and regressed back to totalitarianism throughout
the centuries. Anyone honestly assessing the current state of the world and
our country would unequivocally conclude we have regressed back towards a totalitarian
regime where a small cabal of powerful oligarchs believes they can control
and manipulate the masses in their gluttonous desire for treasure. Aldous Huxley
foretold all the indicators of a world descending into totalitarianism due
to overpopulation, propaganda, brainwashing, consumerism, and dumbing down
of a distracted populace in his 1958 reassessment of his 1931 novel Brave New
World."

"When
the Obama administration was exposed spying on journalists earlier this
year, the investigative reporter blasted what he referred to as the
president’s “war” on journalism. "The Obama administration has clearly
declared war on the press. It has declared war on investigative
journalists — our sources," he said during a recent TV interview,
blasting the administration’s lawless behavior, obsession with secrecy,
and vicious persecution of whistleblowers. Beyond simple criticism,
though, Hastings openly said it was time for journalists to fight back.

"The evidence that Putin did it is a video
made prior to the attack on the airliner. The entire BBC report aired
over National Public Radio was orchestrated for the sole purpose of
establishing prior to any evidence that Russia was responsible.

Indeed the entire Western media spoke as one: Russia did it. And the presstitutes are still speaking the same way.

Possibly, this uniform opinion merely
reflects the pavlovian training of the Western media to automatically
line up with Washington. No media source wants to be subject to
criticism for being unamerican or to find itself isolated by majority
opinion, which carries the day, and earn black marks for being wrong. As
a former journalist for, and contributor to, America’s most important
news publications, I know how this works.

On the other hand, if we discount the
pavlovian conditioning, the only conclusion is that the entire news
cycle pertaining to the downing of the Malaysian airliner is
orchestrated in order to lay the blame on Putin."

" What we are witnessing is the total corruption of Western journalism by
Washington’s imperial agenda. Journalists have to get on board with the
lies or get run over."

"The demonization of Russia and indeed Russian allies by Western
elites and the defense of Israel are interconnected. By and
large, the same people who have been exploiting the MH17 tragedy
to try and get tougher sanctions imposed on Moscow, are the same
ones whitewashing/defending Israeli actions in Gaza.
It is important to understand that being anti-Russian, but also
pro-Israel, and pro-US are “required” positions for anyone
wanting to hold high office in the West. The Russia test, the
Israel test, and the US test can be seen as “three hoops” which
any ambitious politician needs to jump through in order to make
it to the top. British Labour leader Ed Miliband knows this and
has been hard at work.
After Prince Charles had reportedly compared President Putin to
Hitler, Miliband said the Prince “has got a point”. He has
declared himself a Zionist, and at time of writing he is jumping
through the last of the hoops – he is in the US meeting President
Obama."

I have illustrated below and highlighted where we might be in relation to the last top.Of course it may be different this time :-)

It is hard to disagree after the last few days events in Gaza and the propaganda against Putin.As far as Putin goes we should at least wait till the facts are clear before stirring up hostility in what is a very tense and ambiguous situation.If nothing else,a little less hypocrisy would be welcome...

"While Israel’s ongoing murderous crime has been ongoing since its
imposed inception with many horrific pogroms on the Palestinian people
as they’ve gobbled up their land, this latest incident is the most
blatant outright genocidal aggression yet. They apparently know that,
and created these smokescreen airliner events with lap dog Amerikan
complicity who have cooperatively upped the rhetoric, and distraction,
with their anti-Russia sabre rattling.
Clever bastards, eh? Not so if you’re awake enough to have a heart and are even beginning see what’s really going on.
This latest incursion into Gaza is by far the most blatant and
obvious yet, and many are seeing it. To raze a captive populace based on
a supposed kidnapping and a few mortars by a defenseless imprisoned
people is as obvious as it gets. And the most heartbreaking.
The indictment goes to those who fall for this propaganda. The asleep
followers whose noses are turned at the latest blush of distracting
news instead of realizing what is really happening are the culprits."

" “Brazil, China and Russia could easily put something together to compete
with the US dollar,” Rogers said, leaving out one component of the
BRICs alliance. “The US dollar is a terribly flawed currency. I’m an
American. I hate to say that. But the US has serious problems, the world
has serious problems. We need something else” and potentially a
competing world currency could be developed. If this were to occur, the
US and its economy might be put in a straight jacket as the ability to
engage in large deficit spending could be curtailed. "
